Brutus's story

　　Brutus is a 7-year old black neutered male who came to DLRR as a turn in at County. There isn't any information on his previous life only that he was kept primarily outside. He weighed approximately 76.6 lbs when he left the County for Briarcrest Veterinary care center. He has easily gained about 10 or more pounds since staying with us! He has a good healthy appetite and isn't picky about food. Brutus likes to take his time munching and often will come back to finish later. He came into County with a terrible eye condition, called Cherry eye, which because his previous owners didn't have the condition treated, it damaged his retina and he has partial blindness. He has special eye drops that he'll most likely need for the rest of his life. He doesn't let his limited vision get in the way and he's very inquisitive and playful. He's such a joy to have as he's just a real love bug. Brutus gets along dogs, people and with everyone except kitties. Mostly he is just too curious and rough. Since not much is known about him, I would say no to a dog door because of his limited vision. He will go out the door but can't find his way back in. Therefore I fear that he could get trapped out in the heat if the owner is not home to monitor him. He has a medium energy level and loves to go for walks. He will make someone a great companion.
